Schools will ask council tonight to approve $1.8M borrowing BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
Laconia — School Superintendent Terri Forsten will sound the City Council tonight about the prospect of the School District accepting a $1.8 million loan bearing no interest, with the proceeds dedicated to renovations and improvements
designed to “enhance classroom teaching, increase graduation rates, improve employment opportunities and better prepare students for the workplace or higher education”. Laconia was the only school district in the state to express interest in the Qualified Zone Academy Bond, or QZAB,
which is awarded by the federal government and administered by the New Hampshire Department of Education. To qualify more than 35-percent of the students enrolled in the district must be eligible for free or reduced lunch, a threshold Laconia (at 53 percent) easily exceeds. In addition, funding
requires a local match of 10 percent, creation of a so-called “zone academy” and collaboration with community partners. The district recently borrowed $6.5 million in the form of a QZAB as part of the financing package for renovations of Laconia High School and the see QZAB page 3

Sister pleads for return of 15-year-old N. Conway girl
NORTH CONWAY, (AP) — The sister of a missing New Hampshire girl is pleading for her safe return. Sarah Hernandez made the plea Monday evening during a brief news conference by law enforcement investigators outside the Conway Police Department building. The investigators were updating the press about the search for 15-year-old Abigail Hernandez. The North Conway teenager was last seen leaving Kennett High School on Wednesday afternoon. Police say she made it home but was gone when her mother arrived later. Sarah Hernandez says Abigail’s family needs to know she’s safe. She says if anyone knows where Abigail is to “keep her safe and let her” return to her family. Assistant Attorney General Jane Young asks anyone with information about Abigail to contact police. She says, “No detail is too small.”

Key senators optimistic a deal will get done WASHINGTON (AP) — Racing the clock, the Senate’s Democratic and Republican leaders closed in on a deal Monday night to avoid an economy-menacing Treasury default and end the two-week partial government shutdown. “We’ve made tremendous progress,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid declared after an intense day of negotiations with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and other lawmakers. “Perhaps tomorrow will be a bright day,” he said, suggesting agreement could be announced soon after weeks of stubborn gridlock. McConnell also voiced optimism — although not as much as Reid, D-Nev., had — and the details under discussion generated little if any satisfaction among rebellious House conservatives. Officials said that in the discussion to date, the $16.7 trillion federal debt limit would be raised enough to permit the Treasury to borrow normally until midFebruary, if not a few weeks longer.
The government would reopen with enough money to operate until mid-January at levels set previously, and agencies would be given flexibility in adjusting to reduced funding levels imposed by acrossthe-board spending cuts. Officials cautioned that those details could change, and there was even more uncertainty about other elements of a possible deal. Under discussion was a one-year delay in a $63 fee imposed on companies by the health care law known as Obamacare for everyone covered by an employer-sponsored plan. By day’s end, though, Republican opposition to the provision placed it in jeopardy — just as Democrats had earlier pushed back against the proposed repeal of a medical device tax contained in the health care law. The two sides were also discussing a requirement that individuals seeking subsidies under the health care law to pay for coverage would be subject to stronger
income verification measures. The government has been partly closed since Oct. 1, and the Obama administration says the Treasury will run out of borrowing authority to fully pay the nation’s bills on Thursday. The result has been a partisan showdown that polls show is alienating all sectors of the electorate except tea party supporters — and has been a big political loser for Republicans. As a midweek deadline for raising the debt limit neared, the stock market turned positive on bullish predictions from the two longtime antagonists at the center of the talks, Reid and McConnell. Though McConnell expressed optimism about an agreement, his words were not as strong as Reid’s. “We’ve made substantial progress, and we look forward to making more progress in the near future,” he said as the Senate adjourned for the evening.

HINSDALE, N.H. (AP) — A 26-year-old man was shot to death during what police believe was a family dispute, authorities said Monday. Police responded to a home in Hinsdale about 10:15 Sunday night after a 911 call and were met by members of the family who live in the house. Once there, they discovered Dustin Curtiss had been shot to death.
Curtiss had been shot at least three times, according to a brief statement released by New Hampshire Attorney General Joseph A. Foster, State Police Colonel Robert L. Quinn and Hinsdale Police Chief Todd Faulkner. Curtiss was taken first to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital in Vermont and then to UMass Medical Center in Worcester where
he was pronounced dead. An autopsy will be conducted to determine exactly how Curtiss died. Authorities say the investigation is still in its early stages, but it appears Curtis was shot during a family dispute that turned violent. No one has been arrested. Hinsdale is in the southwestern corner of the state, near the Vermont state line.

Lawmakers to consider repealing ban on dyeing chicks CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire lawmakers want to lift a ban on coloring chicks, ducklings, goslings or rabbits to enhance their sale but face warnings about the strain that the dyeing process puts on the animals. State Rep. Joel Winters, a Nashua Democrat, is proposing repealing a 1985 law that makes it illegal to dye the birds and bunnies to promote their sale, raffle or if they are to be given as a prize. Winters said he doesn’t think the old law serves a purpose anymore. “I don’t know of anybody who’s been prosecuted for this,” he said Monday. But former Agriculture Commissioner Steve Taylor said he fought for the law’s passage 28 years
ago because the dye process stresses the birds and many die as a result. “What it amounted to was animal cruelty,” said Taylor. “What was happening was these baby chicks were immersed in dye vats or sprayed with paint.” The paint would harden, interfering with the growth of their feathers, he said. Taylor said too many people bought the dyed chicks at Easter without knowing how to care for them and would let them go into the wild where hawks got them or they died. Curt Jacques, owner of West Lebanon Feed and Supply, opposes coloring chicks. He won’t sell them around Easter because too many buyers don’t know how to care for them.
TRASH from page one from $154,006 in 2012 to $136,960 in 2013. City Manager Scott Myers will tonight report the results of the mandatory recycling program in the first quarter of the fiscal year to the City Council. In a memorandum to the council, he explained that the volumes of recycling and trash fluctuated throughout the year, rising during summer months and around major holidays. The 2013-2014 city budget appropriated approximately $589,000 to collect, haul and dispose of household trash left at the curb, which represents 3,925 tons at a cost of $150 a ton. The budget projects that the tonnage of solid waste collected QZAB from page one at the curbside will be reduced by 575 tons, Huot Regional Technisparing $86,250 in cal Educaiton Center. costs.

To Earlier this month Malcolm Murray, member of the Facilities Committee of the School Board, presented the board with a prioritized list of renovations and improvements at the high school, which could be undertaken with the funds. The highest priorities are health and safety issues, including installation of a sprinkler, heat recovery ventilation and radon removal systems and removal of asbestos. The list also included replacing or repairing suspended ceilings in classrooms and aluminum panels on exterior windows as well as removing carpeting from corridors. The council must approve the interest payments of $78,260 per year for 23 years beginning in 2015. In order to comply with the limits of the tax cap, the council has sought to keep annual principal and payments on borrowings to approximately $3.2-million.
meet the budgeted target, the tonnage of solid waste collected during each cycle must average 151 tons; that is, to meet the target in any given cycle, collections must total 151 or tons or less. During the six cycles of the first quarter collections averaged 152.2 tons. However, the tonnage collected has declined from 160.53 tons to 140.51 tons between the first cycle and the last while the average has fallen from 157.46 tons during the first three cycles to 146.89 tons during the last three cycles. Moreover, the the tonnage collected in each of the six cycles was less than that collected in the same period a year ago. On annualized basis, the first quarter results represent a reduction in curbside collection of solid waste of 3,652 tons and a reduction in collection, haulage and disposal costs of $68,184. Although both figures are shy of budgeted targets, since the introduction of mandatory recycling in July, the volume of recyclables appears to be increasing and the the volume of solid waste decreasing, a trend that indicates over the course of the fiscal year the targets will not be out of reach. — Michael Kitch
FAIR from page one Monday, but it was from everything I saw and heard and very good day.’’ A new event this year, a Children’s Scavenger Hunt, proved popular according to York, who said that the skillet toss, which was introduced several years ago, continues to be one of the most popular events at the fair. She said the three-day fair averages around 30,000 in attendance and has drawn as many as 45,000 and is the last on the annual calendar of the state’s agricultural fairs. There’s always lots of food, ranging from fried dough and giant donuts to buffalo burgers and sausage grinders with peppers and onions at the fair, along with dozens of carnival rides and games. But the heart of the fair is still agricultural, and a lot of attention is paid to young exhibitors who are showing their farm animals and having them judged. Alex Bachelder, 12, of Pittsfield is in her third year of taking part in fitting and showmanship competitions and walked her Holstein ‘’Rattle’’ around the show ring under the watchful eye of show ring judge Katie Putnam of Charlestown,. ‘’I spend a lot of time working with the cattle at Spooky View Farm to get ready for the shows,’’ says Bachelder, who has already taken part in he fairs at Stratham, Hopkinton and Deerfield this year. She’s a member of the Merrimack County 4-H Cub and says that her cousins are also experienced in the fair’s show ring.’’We always have a good time at the fairs,’’ she says. Carissa LaBonte of Loudon is only eight but she was having a good time explaining to people who made their way through the cattle show area what made the shaggy Scottish Highlander cattle she was with so special. ‘’They’re one of the oldest breeds in the world and can survive in cold weather,’’ she told people who asked about the Highlanders.

Charity House draws considerable interest during 1st weekend on market By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — A home which was built by local contractors to benefit the annual WLNH Children’s Auction is already drawing interest from prospective buyers. Opened to the public for the first time over the weekend as the featured property in the 2013 Lakes Region N.H. Parade of Homes Tour, the 2,200-square-foot, three bedroom home on Turner Way in the Windermere Ridge development off from Parade Road was built by members of the Lakes Region Builders and Remodelers Association (LRBRA) . Dale Squires, executive director of the LRBRA, said that dozens of local firms have pitched in on the project, the most ambitious ever undertaken by the group, with the net proceeds from the sale going to the 32nd annual auction in December. He said that the craftsman, bungalow style home, which is priced at $399,000, has drawn interest from a number of people. ‘’We had 300 people through here Saturday and Sunday and several of them came back a second time. That’s a good sign,’’ said Squires, who was hoping that the number of people making the home tour would reach 500 by the end of the Columbus Day weekend. Among those walking the public through the home were Bob Glassett of Pella Windows and Doors, treasurer of the LRBRA, who came up with the idea for building the home as a fundraiser for the children’s auction and is well known for his offer of ‘’wicked good deals’’ he made in television ads for Uncle Hilde’s, a Tilton lumber dealer, several years ago. Glassett, who served as on-site supervisor throughout the project, said that one of the biggest boosts to the entire project came from Mike Hayward of Hayward Construction, who volunteered to serve as general contractor.
Crews from Hayward and Company Log and Timber Homes completely framed and roofed the home in less than a week in mid-July, enabling a jump start on other parts of the project . Hayward, who was also at the home over the weekend, said that his crews spent a total of 270 hours working on the project and that he logged innumerable hours himself. ‘’I’m really pleased with how it turned out and the quality of workmanship that is evident throughout the entire home,’’ said Hayward. Patti Phelps of All in the Details, LLC - Interior Design, said of the finished home that she and other interior designers were receiving a lot of praise from those who toured the home for how wonderful it looked but that it was all the work done by others which helped set the stage. ‘’We had the fun part, decorating the home, that was highly visible. But all those who volunteered for work on other parts of the project, from the foundation, to drywall and electrical made that possible.’’ said Phelps. Others who helped her included The Home Beautiful, Decorative Interiors and Sandra Curtis Designs, while the Harris Family Furniture store completely furnished the home, all of the interior decorations, furnishings, artwork, window treatments and supplemental floor coverings available for optional purchase, creating a movein-ready residence for any growing family or retiring couple. AM HVAC, PENCO Plumbing & Heating, Gilford Well, and Baron’s Major Brands Appliances all made donations of products and services. Others who contributed included Morin Electric, which wired the home; Pella Windows and Doors; F.W. Webb; Middleton Lumber; New Hampshire Hardwoods; and Gilford Well; along with several builders and craftsmen — Mask Construction, Twin Oaks Construction, Alan Mann Home Improvements, K.A.

TIF panel recommends spending $400k on WOW Trail By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The committee managing the Downtown Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District will recommend borrowing $1,550,000 to fund seven projects, including one section of the WOW Trail and three of the riverwalk, when the City Council meets tonight. Tax increment financing allows municipalities to delineate TIF districts, then apply a portion of the future tax revenues that accrue from the increase in assessed value generated by new construction, expansion or renovation of property in the district to finance public improvements by either paying cash or servicing borrowings, within that district. There are two TIF districts in the city, one downtown and another in Lakeport, and a third under consideration at The Weirs. The boundaries of the downtown TIF district enclose an area roughly ringed by Fair Street, New Salem Street, Church Street, Union Avenue and Court Street. The district included 287 properties spread over 145 acres, which together represented a total assessed value of more than $70 million when the district was established in 2004. The committee recommends investing $275,000 from preceding page Woodworking and Custance Brothers Woodworking. The association purchased the two-acre lot in the Windermere Ridge subdivision at a discounted price and Franklin Savings Bank financed the purchase of the lot and construction of the house. Recently John Groesser of JG New Age Interiors enlisted four of his competitors — Sherkanowski Drywall, Wyatt Drywall, Cullen Drywall and Vergato Drywall — to do in one week what would have taken one contractor three weeks to do in order for interior painting to be completed by volunteers in mid-September. Chris Burke Stone Masonry and Belknap Land-
to improve the gateway to downtown at the Main Street Bridge, $400,000 to build the WOW Trail between Main Street and Fair Street, $25,000 to add signage and kiosks to the riverwalk and WOW Trail, $181,000 to connect the Main Street Bridge to the riverwalk at the Landmark Inn, $121,800 to extend the riverwalk through the Walgreen’s property, $200,000 to create a pocket park where Water Street joins Pleasant Street and $300,000 to carry the riverwalk from City Hall to Church Street. In addition, the committee is expected to recommend contributing up to $35,000 toward laying a larger water line to the property formerly housing the Evangelical Baptist Church on Veterans Square to facilitate its planned conversion to a restaurant, which will require installing sprinklers in the building. The TIF account has a current balance of $311,353. City Manager Scott Myers projects the district to add $173,687 in revenue in 2014 and an additional amount each year thereafter for a total of $4,250,212 during the next 20 years. The committee proposes to borrow $1,550,000 at an estimated interest rate of 4.249-percent over 20 years, leaving the TIF fund with a balance of $2,080,123 when the debt is retired. see TIF page 8
scape Company combined to install functional outdoor living spaces. The home is being marketed by Chris Kelly of Re/ Max Bayside, who will take a reduced commission to market and sell the home. Laconia Mayor Michael Seymour, who is a member of the board of directors of the Children’s Auction, said last month that he is tremendously impressed by the support the local builders group gained for the project and the generosity of businesses which made donations or provided materials and furnishings at deep discounts. ‘’It’s really an awesome project,’’ said Seymour.

DO YOU HAVE SPECIAL DENTAL NEEDS? Under the umbrella of General Dentistry, the profession has seven specialty areas designed to focus on specific aspects of dentistry. These specialties and their focus are: Endodontics (root canal therapy), Oral Surgery (difficult extractions, facial bone surgery, and implants), Oral Pathology (diseases), Orthodontics (braces), Pedodontics (child and special needs care), Periodontics (gum disease and implants), and Prosthodontics (tooth replacement). A general practitioner receives training in all of these areas and practices them more or less extensively according to their interest and ability. They utilize their knowledge of each one of these seven specialty areas to provide an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. If the patient’s needs exceed the expertise of the general dentist, he or she is obligated to refer the patient to a specialist. A specialist receives certification after completing at least 2 additional years of formal training, above and beyond the 4 years of dental school. Dr. Felt worked as a specialist certified in Periodontics (gum disease and implant dentistry) for 10 years before expanding his practice to include cosmetic and restorative dentistry, and he has extensive experience in the areas of oral surgery, orthodontics, prosthodontics, and implant dentistry. If you have complex dental needs, give us a call – we can help.

Private enterprise versus government Isn’t it odd that if a business gets “too big”, and essentially has the potential to control its market and stifle competition, the government can declare it a monopoly and work towards getting a court ruling to have the business divested; broken into smaller, independent companies that would no longer be tied to the corporation deemed to be a monopoly. Breaking up of the monopoly is intended to promote competition and give the public more choice in a free enterprise system. In some cases, mainly in the provision of utilities such as electricity, telephone, and natural gas, state or federal government “regulation” serves as a substitute for free market competition. Utilities are often referred to as natural monopolies. In other cases, such as the provision of various types of insurance, states also provide some regulation to ensure the insurer’s ability to meet the obligations of their insurance policies. Although they’re regulated, these are not considered monopolies, as there are multiple insurance companies available to compete in the marketplace. Generally, the government decides to breakup a monopoly based on its potential to control the market and make it difficult for competition to succeed in that market. Way back when, John D. Rockefeller built such a monopoly by owning over one hundred oil refineries which provided the gasoline to his gas stations around the country. Rockefeller would open a gas station and then price his gasoline under what other gas stations in the area were charging. The other stations couldn’t afford to sell at a loss and a great many of them were forced to close. Rockefeller’s strategy worked and he built the Standard Oil Company “Trust” (a conglomeration of all the companies he owned, refineries, oil companies, gas stations, etc.). President Teddy Roosevelt became known as a “Trust Buster” when he successfully dissolved 44 monopolistic companies. However, President William Howard Taft, Roosevelt’s successor, was the president when Standard Oil’s Trust was dissolved into 33 separate companies. It must be noted that dissolution of a trust does not mean that the shareholders are financially punished. In most cases, when the trust is dissolved into smaller independent companies, the value of the parts is worth far more than the whole. The breakup of Standard Oil essentially made Rockefeller the wealthiest person in the world. Some notable trusts that were dissolved include the original United Technologies, which owned airplane maker Boeing Aircraft,
airplane engine maker Pratt and Whitney, and airline company, United Airlines. Those companies were divested into separate entities and continue to this day as highly successful and dominant leaders in their respective fields. Another trust that was dissolved more recently was AT&T, a “natural monopoly” known as the Bell System. Twenty two regional telephone companies, Bell Telephone Labs, Western Electric, (the Bell Systems manufacturing arm), and At&T Communications (the company’s long distance division) were all restructured into seven independent operating companies. Since that breakup in 1984, the seven companies went through a series of mergers and acquisitions and are now only three companies — Verizon, Century Link, and AT&T. (One of the divested regional companies, Southwestern Bell became SBC, and acquired two of the regional companies, and independent Southern New England Telephone Company, and then it bought AT&T. SBC then adopted the AT&T name.) What these three examples show is that the government, in what they deem to be is their responsibility to promote free enterprise and stimulate competition, can break up a company simply because of its size. In the case of Standard Oil, it was because they did, in fact, stifle competition. In the case of United Technologies, it wasn’t that they were stifling competition in a fledgling industry, it was because someone in government didn’t think it was a good idea that one trust should be able to build the airframe and the engines, and sell the seats on the airplane. The Bell System, a natural monopoly, had built the finest telephone system in the world and had contributed many technological innovations into the public domain, the transistor, lasers, and cellular technology, to name a few. But the government deemed it was too big and decided that the now defunct MCI corporation should be able to use the distribution resources of the Bell System. If we accept that the government has the right, the duty, to ensure that companies be allowed to compete in free and open markets, how then can we accept that the government, which is already a huge, bloated bureaucracy that many believe is already too big, should be allowed to take over the entire health care industry? Such an act not only stifles innovation and competition, it eliminates it, as it becomes the world’s largest monopoly. If you need to replace a few spark plugs in your automobile, you don’t replace the entire engine. (Bob Meade is a Laconia resident.)
LETTERS I was tired of paying taxes to be redistributed to people who won’t work To The Daily Sun, I have been reading many letters to you lately bashing the Tea Party.

I will explain what I mean by telling you why I am proud to be a member of the Tea Party. I’m originally from Connecticut and when I was in 6th grade, I remember reading in a school book the difference between Democrats and Republicans. It said that Democrats were the party of the people, focusing on helping the poor with welfare programs. Republicans focused on tax breaks for businesses. Liberal indoctrination at its finest but I bought into it. I said I was going to be a Democrat when I grew up because I wanted to help poor people. This lasted for a few years until I found out that a friend’s mother decided she was going to quit her job cleaning houses because she could make more on welfare. Even though I was young, I knew what fraud was when I saw it. She was a woman who was able to work, but she was going to stop working and get money for nothing. For the next four years before they moved, I got to see this woman sit around her house all day smoking pot while both of my parents had to go to their jobs everyday so they could afford the things we needed. It was at that moment I became a Republican. The years went on and I went from job to job looking to better myself or at least to earn money so I could live. While working at a store that was hiring people for a remodel, a family member that was on unemployment came in. I told him that the store was hiring and that he should apply. He didn’t want to because Obama was going to extend unemployment benefits and he was going to be in line to get more money. I was outraged by this and I made sure he knew it. I looked him right in the eye and said, “You’re part of the problem.” He ended up applying and is better for it to this day. A short time later the Tea Party came on the scene. I liked what TEA stood for, Taxed Enough Already. I was
sick and tired of paying taxes that were being redistributed to people who were able to work and wouldn’t. Now don’t get me wrong, I know there are people who need help and I have no problem with them getting the help they need. But at this point in time I’d bet good cash money from the small amount I get to keep from my paycheck (because most of my money goes to paying rent and gas for my car so my wife and I can get to our jobs) that there are more people defrauding the system than actually need help. So let’s get onto the debate of today. Obamacare is a program that is based on fraud. You may think it isn’t but here is why it is. First, it is supposed to help the poor by getting them subsidies to buy health insurance. So in other words it is going to give more money not only the people who can’t afford health insurance but also more money to the people who are able to work but are unwilling to work for health insurance. But that isn’t only where the fraud is. The fraud is also in the waivers given to the friends, donors, and supporters of Obama. The fraud is also in the subsidies guaranteed to the members of Congress who make anywhere from twi to 10 times as much as the people who the law is supposed to help. We already fund the Cadillac health insurance that they already have, but now we have to give them more money for it? Looks like fraud to me. And let’s not forget Obama himself delaying parts of the law for some (the employer mandate) and not for others (the individual mandate). This was political posturing and criminal behavior as he does not have the legal right to do that and therefore has broken the law. Do I want Obamacare to be repealed? You bet I do. It’s not because I don’t care about poor people and it’s not because I hate Obama. It’s because I am sick and tired of the fraud that government programs allow to happen and I’m certainly sick of paying for it. That is why I am proud to be a member of the Tea Party.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, October 15, 2013 — Page 7
LETTERS Absurdity is what we like here at the National Center for such things To The Daily Sun, Here at the National Center for the Study of Absurdity, we have been overwhelmed by the rise in bizarre behaviors and quotes recently. Our servers almost crashed! Welcome to another edition of Tea Party Potty Pestilence. We start off with a real “House Party”! Reporters and lawmakers alike at the House of Representatives say the House floor reeked of alcohol on the night the TinFoil Brigade shut down the government. Maybe Boehner was handing out checks from the liquor lobby, too. Next door on the Senate floor, DC’s most ridiculous person, Ted Cruz, had not the slightest idea what the moral of the story in “Green Eggs and Ham” was. Being SO SO smart he must have skipped too many grades because as Slate put it, “In broad strokes, it’s a book advocating openness to experience”. That is hardly a strong trait found in the Tea Party. Junior may not be as crazy as is father though. The festering Rafael Cruz claimed Mr. Obama pledged to “side with the Muslims” and warned that Obamacare meant periodic “suicide counseling” for the elderly. You can’t make this stuff up! But its a close race for crazy because the youngster Cruz has recently stated that members of the U.S. military will be helping al Qaeda in Syria. Have you heard about the latest in Obama Derangement Syndrome memes? Obamacare means forced home inspections and implanted chips in babies born in 2014 onward! And this week’s Tin-Foil hat goes to....... Speaking of Green Eggs and Ham. In Little Rock, Arkansas, 61 year-old life-long Republican Butch Matthews bought the Silver Plan on the exchange earlier this week and expects he’ll save close to $13,000 in 2014. Says Matthews as he and his wife stood gleaming for the camera, “I’m so happy that this came along”. Me too, Butch, I’m 63 and when my wife changed jobs in July we lost our insurance. Winning the Rip Van Winkle Award this week is Rand Paul. Junior Paul seemed to have just regained consciousness after a few years of sleep-walking around DC and said shutting down the government over President Barack Obama’s health care reform law was a productive exercise “because we haven’t had a big debate about Obamacare, really, since it passed.” Well, Sleepy, the time for major debates isn’t after a law is debated, passed and then affirmed by the United States Supreme Court. Tweaks will certainly come and Rand can make suggestions if he hasn’t reentered his customary glassy-eyed somnambulist state. Topping our charts as the dead-coldstiff with no pulse winner this week is Arizona millionaire Rep David Schweikert, who claims shutting down the government Is “My Idea Of Fun!”. The most hilarious hullabaloos came from our three well known runnerups to the most ridiculous person in DC. Michele Bachmann, Louie Gohmert, and Steve King, fresh from Egypt where they praised the military coup, put together winning performances with their trade-mark logorrhea at
the WWII Memorial. After voting to shut down the government, they seemed outraged that the memorial was closed! You read that right. Unfortunately this demented hypocrisy is one of the far right’s “values”. Evidently envying the Three Louseketeers’ place in the Hall of Shame, Texas Rep. Randy Neugebauer strongly objected to the Park Service’s closing of the War Memorial. How dare they! Neugabauer, who voted for the government shutdown angrily berated a park ranger as if he was still wet behind the ears. In a petition that circulated afterward, one person wrote, “It’s absolutely absurd that the very individuals who have caused this shutdown act as if they are the victims.” Absurdity is what we like at the Center! As if that hypocrisy didn’t make you reach for your highend Alaskan Winter barf bag that is guaranteed to handle a Howitzer of a Hurl, American Family Association’s spokes-lunatic Bryan Fischer claimed that the president would like nothing more than to “arrest these vets, haul them off to jail, handcuff them to a cot.” He also said Hillary would be the first lesbian president if elected. Yup, my Rainbow Flag is ready! This is the same homophobic bigot who revised history by saying the Hitler’s Nazi Party started in a gay bar. Not alone on the outer fringes of absurdity, Morning Star’s TV Preacher Rick Joyner called for a military takeover of the Obama presidency because democracy was “doomed” unless the Lord imposed martial law. “We’re headed for serious tyranny, a terrible tyranny right now” he said. Did I miss something? Okay, maybe its because I ditched my cable because I could no longer afford barf bags when I watched Fox. Traveling with the Tea Party Psychiatric Ward on their field trip to the Big City, Arkansas Rep. Tim Griffin followed up his initial tweet reporting gunfire by blaming the shooting on President Barack Obama and some Democratic congressional leaders. That, readers of The Sun, is what Obama Derangement Syndrome Memes do to weak and vulnerable minds. Winning the “Is He on Crack?” competition in this edition, conservative talk show host Stan Solomon went on a wild frothing and foaming rant claiming that Trayvon Martin deserves to be dead. Huh? Oh, and left wingers are godless servants of Satan,....er, like gays, right? Joining the Mad Cow herd on the Psych Ward’s field trip is Washington Times columnist Jeffrey Kuhner, who warned that President Obama is pushing an agenda of “Christophobia” that seeks the destruction of the family, Christian culture and Christian civilization. I’ll bet this guy buys Tin Foil in bulk! Mr. Kuhner also spittle splattered, “Liberalism is responsible for more deaths than Nazism or Soviet communism.” Don’t forget the Muslims, Mr Kuhner! The Muslims! Where is your glassy-eyed patriotic Islamaphobia today? As I noted in the last edition, after cutting food stamps for millions of poor children, veterans and disabled people, the Devil and his Angels were
in conference trying to figure out how to kill the WIC (Women with Infant Children) and TANF Programs. Well, celebration abounds in the “This Is My Idea of FUN!” camp because Forbes.com reported fabulous news for the sociopaths on the Hill. The Forbes headline is “9 Million Moms And Babies At Risk As WIC Program Halts”. Nice work! Because some food-safety operations will also cease operations some corporate leaders will spontaneously break into dances of delirious delight. Gimme My Paycheck! After voting to damage millions of lives financially, North Carolina Rep. Renee Ellmers told a Raleigh TV station she would continue to accept and keep her paycheck during the shutdown because “I need my paycheck. That’s the bottom line.” Really! Two million federal workers thrown out the airlock into the cold vacuum of no-paycheck space and she thinks SHE is SO special! Millions of veterans may not receive benefits if the shutdown lasts more than two weeks and SHE needs her paycheck! Nutritional programs for women, infants and children could be disrupted after a week, Financing for small businesses could be hampered and SHE needs her paycheck! 400 national parks, museums and sites across the country will close shop and the National Parks Conserva-
tion Association estimates that local communities alone could lose some $30 million in business for every day of the shutdown and SHE needs here paycheck!. As the Tea Party Pestilence once again sickens our economy with more calculated slow downs, SHE needs her damn paycheck! In too gross to mention but I will mention it anyway because its a matter of public health, especially now that we are in the flu season, a study of holy water in churches revealed it was contaminated with some very unfriendly microscopic thingies. This finding shouldn’t surprise anyone who knows where humans put their hands and fingers. The Washington Times headline was, “Most holy water contaminated with fecal matter”. And you were worried about hot tubs. Most people are not trusty hand washers. Just ask the victims of Typhoid Mary who didn’t wash her hands enough after, well, you know. In the next edition, we at the National Center for the Study of Absurdity will bring you the most absurd in science, sex, and religion that there just wasn’t enough space for this week. This will include a bombshell dropped by Billy Graham’s grandson Boz Tchividjian, who is a law professor at Liberty University. James Veverka Tilton
It’s appalling, everyone is losing & this shutdown needs to end soon To The Daily Sun, “Free Bag of Apples for Furloughed Workers”, that was the Miller Farm sign that received a lot of attention during Dover Apple Harvest Day this past weekend. In a region that has seen over 1,200 people temporarily left jobless by the government shutdown, people responded with gratitude and good-natured exasperation. Several branches of government employees were represented, Portsmouth Ship Yard workers, IRS, ATF, and Dept. of Agriculture. I was humbled by their appreciation of our small gesture of support and lost count of the number of people who asked me things like “what are they thinking in DC”? I couldn’t answer that question, but I know the impact that the government shutdown is having on a day-to-day basis because both my son and daughter are currently furloughed. While it’s bad enough to hear that anyone would consider your kids “non-essential,” seeing the impact on their lives has been difficult. From a father’s unbiased perspective, I have four really good adult kids. All have worked hard, found good jobs, and have played by the rules. My oldest son spent nearly 20 years in the U.S. Air Force before an attractive opportunity arose to work for the Air Force as a civilian. He and his wife, who stays at home to care for their three young children, my grandkids, are struggling. They have a mortgage and bills like everyone else. Money was already tight because of sequester cutbacks, but they’ve been doing everything right — working hard, raising a great family, and tightening their belts when necessary. They’re not alone, of course. Hans-
com Air Force Base, where my son works, has seen deep cuts to its staff. Other military bases and federal agencies across the country have been forced to do the same. Many of the people that I talked to on Saturday are facing what my kids are facing or spoke about a family member in the same economic nightmare. The news just gets worse. We learned last week that Headstart programs are being cut and that children with cancer have been denied access to an experimental drug that could save their lives. This week we found out that families of 17 fallen soldiers won’t get the financial support they’re entitled to in order arrange funerals, travel, and to settle the accounts of their loved ones. Some pretend that the shutdown cuts are minor. The impact of cuts like these are not minor and impact all of us on many levels. Miller Farm is a small family business. My late wife and I created it to share with our kids and we’ve had a great time. The Dover Apple Harvest Day gave me an opportunity to send my kids, and other furloughed employees, a message of support. I hope my kids know that, if they need it, the Bank of Dad will be there to help. But seeing my children and our neighbors thrown into situations like this because House Republicans can’t meet Pres. Obama half-way is more than frustrating, it’s appalling. My daughter isn’t helping her neighbors and my son can’t do the work he does to keep us secure. Everyone is losing and it needs to end soon. I heard the message at our farm booth, I hope House Republicans are hearing it, too. Rich Leonard New Durham

TIF from page 5 The effect of these projects would be to complete the stretch of riverwalk along the north bank of the Winnipesaukee River from the Fair Street Bridge to the Church Street Bridge, except for the crossing of Beacon Street West. Planning Director Shanna Saunders said that the connection would be made when Chinburg Builders completes the commercial development planned at the Beacon Street West Condominiums. Ultimately a second stretch of riverwalk is planned to extend along the southern bank of the river and join the first at the two bridges to form a continuous loop. The committee estimates that the cost of completing the loop by building 11 segments of the riverwalk along the south bank of the river would approach $2-million. Along with the riverwalk, the committee is considering adding an exterior staircase and security cameras to the parking garage and constructing public restrooms downtown and a footbridge across the river.
DEFAULT from page 2 from the White House, President Barack Obama blended optimism with a slap at Republicans. “My hope is that a spirit of cooperation will move us forward over the next few hours,” he said. And yet, he added, “If we don’t start making some real progress both in the House and the Senate, and if Republicans aren’t willing to set aside some of their partisan concerns in order to do what’s right for the country, we stand a good chance of defaulting.” Stock prices, which had risen strongly late last week on hopes of an agreement, were down at the start of the day but then pushed higher as the Senate leaders voiced optimism. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 64 points. Reid and McConnell met twice before midafternoon, their sessions sandwiched around a White House announcement that Obama was calling them and the party leaders in the House for the second time in less than a week to discuss the economy-threatening crises. The meeting was subsequently postponed and it was not clear when it might be rescheduled.
Any legislation would require passage in the Senate and also in the House, where a large faction of tea party-aligned lawmakers precipitated the shutdown two weeks ago despite the efforts of both McConnell and Republican Speaker John Boehner. Boehner met with McConnell during the day, then with other House GOP leaders. His spokesman, Michael Steel, later said, “If the Senate comes to an agreement, we will review it with our members.” A closed-door session was set for Tuesday morning. One conservative with a seat at the GOP leadership table, Oklahoma Rep. James Lankford, said that based on what he had been told, the emerging package contained no policy victories for his party. As for raising the debt limit until February, he said, “That’s a lot of dollars.” In addition to other elements of any deal, the two Senate leaders are expected to announce that House and Senate negotiators will seek a deficit-reduction agreement that could ease or eliminate a new round of automatic federal spending cuts scheduled to begin in January.

BOOK ON-LINE www.lrairportshuttle. com
The truth about Obama cannot be denied by anyone with an open mind To The Daily Sun, Today, Tuesday, L.J. Siden is on another misinformation campaign. Trying to paint me and other conservative letter writers as extremists, he uses the same tactics as he accuses us of doing. I guess he’s not a, “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander type guy, if he is a guy? Actually nobody knows who or what he/she is. Actually I have been informed by a reliable source that there is no L.J. Siden listed to vote in Gilmanton, nor any property owner by that name so it seems L.J. Siden doesn’t exist. Wonder why anyone would hide behind an alias? Me too. You know some of the things he finds fault with conservatives, such as those he describes as “birthers” is simply explained. Obama kept so many secrets, particularly about how a self admitted class skipping, pot smoking, poor student got into Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard University’s? Easy, he portrayed himself as an Indonesian student complete with foreign passport and school records. All of which to this day are sealed. This gave rise to the idea by some that he was foreign born when in reality he was born in the U.S. but committed fraud to gain entrance to prestigious schools. So the birthers misconception is Obama’s own fault. Now L.J. makes a big issue of the sometime use of “name calling” such as “nutty professor, moon-bat, KoolAid drinkers”, all of which I have at one time or other used, guilty as charged, but even so doesn’t make me a hater unless hating lies and misinformation designed to deceive falls into that category. For instance I frequently referred to Leo Sandy as the nutty professor after his oft presentations of misinformation and demonstrated lies such as when he claimed the U.S. sold poison gas to Iraq.
Others who have received the much deserved treatment have been those who are the completely uninformed who make ridiculous assertions about conservatives referring to us as racists, rednecks, bigots, ignorant and the like. Terms L.J. clearly omitted from his list of offensive terms. I will give him credit for acknowledging that both sides do engage in the practice but as noted he takes special care to only emphasis what conservatives say or write. His attempt to appear even handed just doesn’t cut true. What about those six Muslim brotherhood guys in the White House. L.J. debates that is not proven they are Muslim brotherhood members because I got the information from a conservative blog. It’s a site I trust and believe in the accuracy of so why shouldn’t I? L.J. has his sources and relies on their accuracy. It has been documented that CAIR and the Brotherhood have worked closely to prevent terms such as “Islamic terrorists, Muslim extremists” from being used in FBI training manuals, discouraged from media reports and the famous “war on terror” from being acknowledged anywhere. L.J.’s political correctness omits his simple acknowledgment’s that those six Muslims in the government push for exactly these censored terms to be removed and he wants me to believe these six are really benign, harmless, inclusive individuals working for the American good, no way. So L.J. Siden, whoever he really is, can promote the interests of a proven liar, incompetent, Marxist-socialist president and attack my person, opinions, credibility whatever he likes, but the truth behind Obama can not be denied by anyone with an open mind. Steve Earle Hill
11% don’t like Obamacare because they prefer a single-payer system To The Daily Sun, Rep. Burchell’s figures don’t tell the whole story as to public perception of Obamacare. In fact, 11 percent of the 57 percent of Americans he says oppose Obamacare are those who feel the plan doesn’t go far enough. So add those individuals to the 38 percent who support the health care law and you come to nearly half of the American public in favor of Obamacare. I’m glad that Rep. Burchell doesn’t have a pre-existing condition that prevented him from getting health insurance or hasn’t had a catastrophic illness that sent him into bankruptcy,
but countless Americans have. I assume Rep. Burchell already benefits from government-sponsored health care in the form of Medicare. Back in 1995, when the Medicare law was enacted, there was exactly the same type of backlash we are now seeing over Obamacare. The opponents of Medicare were wrong, just as the opponents are misguided now. Just ask my friend with Lyme disease who can purchase affordable health insurance now for the first time since her diagnosis! Kate Miller Meredith
Obama spends our money to block our access to government facilities To The Daily Sun, Obama defunds the government, and to ensure the maximum pain and loss and inconvenience, he SPENDS our money to BLOCK access to all sorts of government facilities which are normally open and need no employees — such as simple pit toilets in parks. Can he possibly be a
more obvious LIAR than that? That basically defines the idiot, totally against the USA and citizens. He is the only one getting terribly rich by stealing from us, apparently about 7 trillion dollars in his pocket, and billions spent to buy votes. Jack Stephenson Gilford

LETTERS Down through the ages, ends have always justified means for leftists
Tuesday, Oct. 22
To The Daily Sun, Are we mad as hell yet? Are we ready to say that we are not going to take it anymore? Military chaplains banned from giving mass. People who own homes with long-term leases on federal lands being evicted. Entrepreneurs forced to close their businesses which are on government land. Shutting down public roadways in multiple states. Troops who wanted to assist a Virginia food bank were told to stand down. Barricading war memorials. Message for courageous World War II vets, go away, you bother me. Withholding death benefits to surviving military families. Just more blatant examples of President Obama’s contempt for the military. Remember, nearly half of the sequester cuts went toward the defense. And yet he turns the national park rangers into his personal police force. Kudos to Wisconsin governor Scott Walker who told the feds, no, I’m going to keep my parks open. Soft tyranny, police state? Balderdash say those of the liberal persuasion. Those would be the ones who seem to be happy, perhaps ecstatic that we no longer appear to want to behave like Americans. Increasingly, sheriffs, mayors, governors and country officials are being intimidated into acquiescence. Most state governments now get so much money from the federal government that they are afraid to bite the hand that feeds them. Questionable surveillance techniques only add to the fear and timidity when opposing the all powerful government. Voters lulled into confusion, disillusionment and finally complacency throw up their hands and don’t even vote. A growing volume of low information voters who are getting government largesse will always vote for Democrats. It seems that the dependent state President Obama has been diligently building has become a roaring success. The Democrats are treating the government shutdown and efforts by Republicans to delay Obamacare for one year like some juvenile game. What
do liberals do when they don’t have the truth or the will of the people on their side? Let the name calling games begin, and boy have they. Extortionists, arsonists, anarchists, terrorists, inmates running the asylum and having bombs strapped to their chests. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announces to the world that the United States just might default. More scare tactics and more intimidation. This has already had some negative affect on the financial markets while there is no chance we will default on our debts. We have plenty of revenues to take care of the interest on the debts we owe to the Chinese and Japanese. Scaring people, inflicting maximum pain and bullying citizens is okay for most of those on the left. Because the end justifies the means as it always does for progressives down through the ages. Sacrificing the livelihood of citizens, not to mention their very lives is perfectly okay if it is for the good of the collective. The fundamental transformation of this nation by our Marxist president continues at warped speed. And talk about scary, he has another three years to continue the destruction. Our forefathers and our brave veterans have fought the good fight so that our government would “tread on us lightly” with it’s limited powers. Do we have enough fight left in us to prevent this republic from becoming the United Socialist States of America? I honestly feel that we still do, but the time grows short. It is paramount that we understand, if progressives are willing trash our veterans and refuse to offer funds to kids with cancer and are unwilling to delay Obamacare for one year or live under the same health plans they mandate us to live under, then they are capable of just about anything. Yes, I think we have plenty of fight left. After all, it is in our DNA. Russ Wiles Tilton

Plymouth shuts out Sachems, 37-0 By Tim marTin
FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
PLYMOUTH — The Sachems (2-4) traveled to Plymouth Saturday and only managed seven first downs and 115 total yards in a 37-0 loss. It was Laconia’s second game against an undefeated team in as many weeks. Unlike last week against Mondadnock Regional (Swanzey), the Sachems would not score 37 points. The Bobcats (6-0), led by senior quarterback Colin Sullivan and running back Jared Kuehl, controlled the tempo from the opening whistle. Kuehl had two scores, one receiving and the other on the ground, while Sullivan threw for two and ran for another. “We competed well and made them do things that they normally wouldn’t have on offense,” coach Craig Kozens said of his young Laconia team. “The backbreaker was giving up a touchdown eight seconds before halftime.” Laconia intercepted Sullivan with 23 seconds remain in the half, only
to return the favor on the very next play. Eight seconds remained in the half after the pair of picks. The Bobcats would make Laconia pay for the turnover when Sullivan hooked up with Kuehl coming out of the backfield for a 27 yard touchdown. The score increased Plymouth’s lead 28 at the half. Laconia’s offense went three and out four times in the first quarter. The second saw Laconia’s longest drive of the day, which consisted of nine plays and two first downs. “We could have used Kyle Chiasson” said Kozens. He did not play due to shoulder injury. “He is a key part of the offense and in the secondary.” Laconia would have four possessions on offense in the second half. 8am - 3pm Plymouth’s defense would produce It’s all about the pumpkin three turnovers.

Save Gale School Committee encouraged after meeting with Shaker board again By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BELMONT — The Shaker Regional School Board agreed to allow the Save the Gale School Committee continue exploring possible uses for the historic but now empty building. Committee member Ken Knowlton said the board seemed interested in preserving the Gale School with an eye to possibly using the relocated school as a public library. “The didn’t say no,” Knowlton said, commenting last week on his appearance before the board. “We are interpreting that they like the idea and want to see more.” “They agreed that the research (done by the Save the Gale School Committee) could continue,” confirmed Superintendent Maria Dreyer. Knowlton said one of the School Board’s biggest concerns was moving the school — now located on the edge of Bryant Park, behind the Middle School — only to see it abandoned again in a new location. The Shaker Regional School District
owns the Gale School. It also owns the corner lot near the Middle School that borders on Concord Street — the proposed site for any relocation. Knowlton said his initial idea would be for the library to lease the land from the School District. Knowlton, former School Board member Pret Tuthill, Diane Marden, and Wallace Rhodes are the core of the Save The Gale School Committee. In the past few months, they have taken a two-pronged approach toward saving the 1890’s school, with Knowlton and Tuthill working with the School Board and Marden and Rhodes working with the Library Trustees. Marden and Rhodes made a similar presentation in September to the Belmont Public Library Trustees at the same time Tuthill and Knowlton were meeting with the School Board.

LACONIA — On a recent weekend, a group of youths gathered at the home of a friend to have a party. All of the usual beverages were served and it’s likely that up to a certain point, many thought they were having a good time. But, according to police, by the time the party ended, one young man was treated in the emergency room of Lakes Region General Hospital for excessive consumption of alcohol, the police had arrived at the party, parents were notified, and three of the older youths, ages 18 and 19, were cited for unlawful possession of alcohol. The above scenario plays out fairly regularly in Laconia. According to Lt. Al Lessard, 77 people under the age of 21 were charged with unlawful possession of alcohol in 2012. So far this year, 45 have been cited. For those who are convicted, a mandatory minimum fine of $300 will be paid. It’s $600 for a second offense.
Certified Service
Three people in Laconia were charged in 2012 with facilitating a house party while so far this year two have been charged with the same offense. A misdemeanor, those convicted of facilitating a house party where drugs or alcohol is made available to minors, can pay up to a $1,200 fine. Police have taken a multi-pronged approach toward under-aged drinking. There are grants that the Police Department gets annually that allows extra officers to be on patrol during times of anticipated high need — like graduation, prom, home football games and the upcoming holidays. A group of officers has adopted under-aged drinking as one of its Problem-Oriented Policing (POP) projects, that was articulated at the most recent Police Commission meeting. Working with the School District and other civic organizations like Stand Up For Laconia and the Lakes Regional Partnership For Public Health, the police have a goal of education the community on under-age drinking and DWI laws, promote a “chemsee next page

Hiker who died in White Mtns. identified HART’S LOCATION, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire officials have identified the 60-year-old man who died Saturday while hiking in the White Mountains. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department says rescuers were called to the Ripley Falls Trail about GALE from page 11 She said now that a librarian has been hired, she expects the trustees to have some kind of public discussion regarding the Save the Gale School Committee proposal at one of their upcoming meetings. In the committee’s mind, relocating the school to the corner lot and making it into the Belmont Public Library is a win for both — the Middle School gets from preceding page free” lifestyle and change the perceptions of those who violate drinking laws, and to improve communications between parents, minors, and parents. Each POP project is lead by a supervisor, in this case Sgt. Mike Finogle, and a team of police officers, a dispatcher, and a civilian employee. Senior Patrol Officer Steve Orton is also a member of the Underage Drinking team. Not only can under-aged alcohol abuse cause legal problems for those who imbibe more and more scientific research has shown that early alcohol use can have a detrimental effect on developing brains. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, “young adulthood is a period when most people make critical educational, occupational, and social decisions, and impaired cognitive functioning at this time could substantially affect their futures.” The NIAAA conducted its study in 2000 on the neuropsychological performance of young people who were between the ages of 15 and 16 and who were in treatment for alcohol dependence and found that as compared to the control group of student who hadn’t consumed alcohol and found they performed worse on a number of verbal and non-verbal memory tests. A follow up on the same people eight years later indicated that active abusers did worse than the abstainers on with attention tasks and those who had experienced withdrawal symptoms — hangovers or shakes —

When Knowlton was asked if there was a “Plan B” should the library not want to relocate, he said the Save the School Committee “would cast a wide net” for potential users. Knowlton said the next step is to go before the Board of Selectmen to update them on the committee’s work.

did worse than those who were light drinkers. The study also highlighted the development of brain structures and found the hippocampus — which lies deep in the brain and is critical to learning new information and memory — is adversely affected by alcohol use, especially by binge drinking. “The ... earlier a person developed an (Alcohol Use Disorder) the smaller his or her hippocampi,” read the report. In addition, the NIAAA cited other studies which showed young people may be more susceptible to developing AUDs because the pre-frontal cortex — portion of the brain that controls impulses — continues to develop well into a person’s 20s and damage is done in young brains to impulse control leading to poor decision making. Research showed alcohol had the same effect on adult however the difference in young people was more acute when he or she drank alcohol. The study also concluded that young people with Alcohol Use Disorders were at a higher risk of other psychiatric disorders including conduct disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and attention deficit disorders. While the lasting physical and psychological effects of the above weekend party cannot be known at this time, the one thing that is guaranteed is the three young men who were charged with unlawful possession of alcohol as a result of the party will have to face a judge in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division.

PLYMOUTH — The Museum of the White Mountains at Plymouth State University will host a selection of White Mountains paintings collected by North Conway dealer Bob Goldberg October 17–February 3. Through the Eyes of the Dealers: Bob and Dot Goldberg is planned as a tribute exhibition to the Goldbergs. Goldberg was a major 20th century dealer of White Mountains art, as impassioned by the area as he was by the paintings. Born in and a life-long resident of North Conway, Goldberg used his talents in businesses ranging from furniture and antiques to real estate and sporting goods ventures. He displayed White Mountains art in his stores, enticing visitors to start collecting. Many current collections have roots in his artistic savvy. Museum Director Catherine Amidon says the exhibition celebrates Goldberg’s commitment to cultivating collectors of White Mountains art. “The scope of the images is broad; art is from around the White Mountains, including Maine. It highlights the diversity of what they bought, sold and collected,” she says. The seven pieces in the exhibition are on loan from the Hood Museum at Dartmouth to which Robert and Dorothy Goldberg bequeathed their collection. “This is an excellent opportunity to strengthen the ties between these two museums that share such strong
regional interests,” Amidon added. Charles Vogel, who drafted didactic materials for the exhibition said, “My wife Gloria and I met Bob and Dot Goldberg in September 1972. Bob became my mentor, advisor, teacher, confidant and some-time partner. Most importantly, Bob Goldberg was my friend.” Vogel will speak at 7 p.m. Thursday, October 17 at Heritage Commons in the Samuel Read Hall Building on Highland Street, just down the hill from the museum. The exhibition opening will take place at the museum immediately following Vogel’s talk and the museum will be open until 10 p.m. that evening. Vogel’s writings and more can be seen on the Museum of the White Mountains website, Plymouth.edu/ museum-of-the-white-mountains/. The Museum of the White Mountains is located at 34 Highland Street in Plymouth, on the campus of Plymouth State University. Admission is free and open to the public for selfguided tours. Contact Libby Griffiths at (603) 535-3210 or egriffiths@plymouth.edu to discuss and schedule group visits. Museum hours are Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10 a.m.–5 p.m.,Wednesday 10 a.m.–7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday noon–5 p.m. The museum is closed Mondays and University holidays.

SPORTS Another win for Inter-Lakes, another hat trick for Rotonnelli Caitlin Rotonnelli scored another 4 goals in Thursday’s 7-2 win at Newport. This gives her 31 for the season with 4 more games to go, breaking last season’s record of 26. This is also Rotonnelli’s 9th hat trick for this season. Rotonnelli broke the ice within the first ten minutes for a goal with an assist from Sarah Dunlap. Newport scored to match and then Kaylee Converse landed a low far post shot for the second Inter-Lakes goal of the half with an assist from Daniele Boucher. Converse grabbed her second of the game soon into the second half with another assist from Dunlap. Newport then had a corner kick that bounced off an Inter-lakes player for their second and final goal. Rotonnelli finished the half scoring 3 more goals with assists from Madelyn Edgar and two more assists from Dunlap. Dunlap had four assists for the game as well as a goal of her own in the second half with an assist from Charlotte Morrow. Next game is home against Belmont on Tuesday. The Lakers are currently undefeated on their home turf.

VOLLEYBALL from preceding page mont’s Megan Bailey recorded three aces, two kills, three digs and 28 assists. Jessie Bergeron had an ace, four kills and 23 digs. Shannon Conway had five kills, one block and two digs. Alyssa Woods had seven kills and five digs, while Ashley Ortiz and Sam Lugar provided strong back row defense. Said coach Melissa Miner, “The Red Raiders went into this match knowing that the last time they met
the Timberwolves it took them five sets to win the match. Going into this match we knew that we did not want it to go to five sets, it takes a lot out of a team when you do. The Timberwolves are a strong team, they definitely made us work for our win, but we stayed positive throughout the night and we fought for every point.” Belmont’s record is now 11-1. The team is scheduled to play again on Wednesday against Inter-Lakes.
GOLF from preceding page of last year’s group, with the exception of three incoming freshmen and a new coach, Jason Baldini, an assistant pro at Laconia Country Club. Baldini brought a new level of professionalism to the team, both in skill and attitude. This new outlook translated on the course through the players’ respect and dedication to the team. Assessing the team’s raw skills, Baldini worked on perfecting the players’ form of swinging, helping them with drives and putting, all showed through-
out the season, as they boys racked up eight more wins than they did the season before. The season of work came to a head on October 3, when Laconia found itself at a critical match at their home Laconia Country Club. This was the last match of the season, and the team’s placement in the state tournament would be determined by the performance of the players on that day. The team was up against Pelham, ranked second in the division, Belmont, and Prospect Mountain, which was the team they had to beat in order to qualify for the tournament. At the end of the day Laconia came out on top, beating all three teams and claiming a spot in states on October 10. The state tournament was a challenge for the Sachems, as they were playing on an 18 hole course instead of their usual 9 hole course. The players worked hard during the state match, finishing with a score of 367 and a seventh place finish. The tournament was won by Bow, which shot 301. Pelham claimed second with 337, followed by Mascenic (338), Gilford (339), Campbell (344) and Kearsarge (357). Although the team would have liked to have placed better, Baldini said his players were proud of making it to states and of their progress during the season. He said, “I have never coached anything before, but having a background in the field professionally really helped me direct the boys out on the course. The amount of respect that came from the team this year was unbelievable. I felt that they were not only playing for themselves, but also wanted to play well for me, to make me proud.” The team’s potential showed over the course of the season and figures to continue to develop next year. Captain Colin Horton, a junior, took the best scores throughout the season and was named the team’s MVP for the year. Sophomore, Trevor Weeks was said to be “most improved” by Baldini. The two additional captains and only seniors on the team were Matt Missert and Scott Compton. Reflecting on the season, Compton said,” I’m proud of the team this year. Not just for making it to states but for our record and progress made. I knew that our record would be higher than last year’s, but I couldn’t have imagined it to be as good as it was. The team came back this season ready to kill it, but a lot of drive and inspiration came from our coach. Baldini helped the team get to where we are now.”

for the first time. This was a day filled with joy, sorrow, amazement, and stories shared from one generation to another. “We did what we had to do without giving it a second thought” said one veteran when thanked for their service by a Cadet. In addition to honoring and interacting with the veterans, the cadets had the opportunity to meet former Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell and the Marine Corps Commandant, Gen. James Amos. The Honor Guard is grateful to the Laconia VFW for their support. Cadets were responsible for fundraising to pay their way.

on a tangent that’s personal, interesting and completely engaging. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You come up with the magic combination of word and tone to make things happen. You’ll get people to wait patiently or work quickly, whichever you need them to do. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Give people ideas and support, but avoid solving their problem just yet. You’ll rob them of the chance to compensate you! It ultimately will be better for everyone if you are paid in some way. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Discipline counts more than natural talent -- much, much more. The natural talent you have may serve to make practice more fun, but ultimately, it’s the practice, not the talent, that will make you successful. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 15). You are the hero of your story and bonded to your inner guidance. You’ll shift into a higher gear in November, kicking work projects up a notch. You’ll earn more in December. Entertainment and new friends are part of the fun in January. The best times to travel are March and June. Keep the promise you make in May. Pisces and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 30, 49, 24 and 14.
by Darby Conley
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ve experimented and stretched beyond the boundaries that still limit others. Now it may be time to reel things in a bit. Get feedback before you take your work to the general public. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Check in with yourself to see just how much you really care about something that used to be important to you. Chances are you will find out that it’s no longer as important, and this will free you up to choose a juicier goal. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You used to daydream about having early success in your career followed by early retirement. Today, you’ll try on the more practical desire to simply be happy while working, and you’ll see brilliant results, too. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll enjoy the activity and responsibility of your work. You’ll get a sense of fulfillment as you provide what’s useful. You put a smile on the face of anyone who deals with you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll use your mechanical skills and create a temporary fix for the problem that threatened to throw a wrench in the works. With a little skill and some elbow grease, you’ll save the day. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll need to handle more than the usual amount of paperwork, memos and lists in order to get your life and work in order today. Organization is your strong suit, though, so you’ll sail through the parts that would be harder for others. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you witness today’s remarkable presentation or piece of entertainment, be aware of how much work went into its creation. It’s amazing how much goes into a seemingly effortless outcome. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Sometimes being alive doesn’t seem to have any particular feeling attached to it. But today you’ll find there’s a certain rapture in it. It’s like every cell of you recognizes the great gift that life is. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re totally self-motivated. That’s why it’s likely you’ll work alone. The others go where they’ve been led and focus there. You’ll go off

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Oct. 15, the 288th day of 2013. There are 77 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 15, 1917, Dutch dancer Mata Hari, convicted of spying for the Germans, was executed by a French firing squad outside Paris. On this date: In 1858, the seventh and final debate between senatorial candidates Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas took place in Alton, Ill. In 1860, 11-year-old Grace Bedell of Westfield, N.Y., wrote a letter to presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln, suggesting he could improve his appearance by growing a beard. In 1928, the German dirigible Graf Zeppelin landed in Lakehurst, N.J., completing its first commercial flight across the Atlantic. In 1937, the Ernest Hemingway novel “To Have and Have Not” was first published by Charles Scribner’s Sons. In 1945, the former premier of Vichy France, Pierre Laval, was executed for treason. In 1946, Nazi war criminal Hermann Goering (GEH’-reeng) fatally poisoned himself hours before he was to have been executed. In 1951, the classic sitcom “I Love Lucy” premiered on CBS with the episode “The Girls Want to Go to the Nightclub.” In 1964, it was announced that Soviet leader Nikita S. Khrushchev (KROOSH’-chef) had been removed from office. In 1969, peace demonstrators staged activities across the country as part of a “moratorium” against the Vietnam War. In 1976, in the first debate of its kind between vice presidential nominees, Democrat Walter F. Mondale and Republican Bob Dole faced off in Houston. In 1991, despite sexual harassment allegations by Anita Hill, the Senate narrowly confirmed the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court, 52-48. In 1997, British Royal Air Force pilot Andy Green twice drove a jet-powered car in the Nevada desert faster than the speed of sound, officially shattering the world’s land-speed record. NASA’s plutonium-powered Cassini spacecraft rocketed flawlessly toward Saturn. Ten years ago: Eleven people were killed when a Staten Island ferry slammed into a maintenance pier. (The ferry’s pilot, who’d blacked out at the controls, later pleaded guilty to 11 counts of manslaughter.) An explosion ripped apart a U.S. diplomatic vehicle in the Gaza Strip, killing three Americans. China launched its first manned space mission. Five years ago: Republican John McCain repeatedly assailed Democrat Barack Obama’s character and campaign positions on taxes, abortion and more in a debate at Hofstra University; Obama parried each accusation, and leveled a few of his own, saying “100 percent” of McCain’s campaign ads were negative. One year ago: In interviews with CNN and Fox News, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton took responsibility for security at the U.S. consulate in Libya, where the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed in a Sept. 11, 2012, attack.

LACONIA — As October arrives, the Lakes Region General Hospital Auxiliary is busy with the final preparations for the LRGH Auxiliary Annual Fall Craft Fair being held on Saturday, October 19 at Laconia High School from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.Admission is free. Donations are gladly accepted. Since 2002 it has been the commitment of the LRGH Auxiliary to provide breast cancer patients with a “comfort” tote bag of products and informational materials to help with recovery following surgery. Several hundred patients have been helped by the Auxiliary’s effort in the past eleven years. The gym will be filled to capacity with vendors selling a wide variety of handcrafted creations, artwork and home cooked foods. Shoppers need to arrive early to shop for the best selection. Plenty of parking is available and the event is handicap accessible. The annual bake sale will offer a huge selection of delicious baked goods. The craft raffle this year will
feature over 50 items, which have been donated by participants and area merchants. Once again a “Dine the Lakes Region” door prize valued at $100 featuring gift certificates to Lakes Region restaurants will be awarded. Anyone who attends is eligible to enter to win. Entry tickets for the door prizes will be available at the main entrance. You do not have to be present to win the door prize. Food and drink will be offered this year by Annie’s Café and Catering . A variety of breakfast and lunch selections and baked goodies will be for sale. Featured this year will be a “Pink Plate Combo Special” with a portion of the proceeds donated to help the Auxiliary provide “comfort” bags. Annie will offer food and beverages from the start of the fair until 2:30 p.m. The money raised at the craft fair will benefit the LRGHealthcare Breast Health Program and other Auxiliary charitable programs.

At the height of his career, he lived as a beloved resident in the quaint, picturesque town of Meredith in the heart of the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Drawing from the Yankee humor he saw around him, Montana deftly included local scenes, events and characters in the puns and pranks of Archie’s comic-strip life. Join Lakes Region historian Carol Lee Anderson as she takes readers beyond the Archie comic strip and tells the story of the remarkable New England life of Bob Montana. Books will be available for purchase.

PET OF THE WEEK BENTLEY & KIKI
These two tabby cats, though not originally from the same home, Bentley came from a shelter in Bedford New Hampshire, Kiki was acquired from a neighbor, now find themselves, as a pair, homeless. Moving to a place where pets were not allowed, these two four year olds were brought to New Hampshire Humane Society in July. No one has looked twice at them even though they are perked a friendly in their double cage and create not one problem for staff or volunteers taking care of them. We do wish to keep them together. After all their upheavals at least having the company of each other helps them cope with the stress of shelter life. Further, they truly do not present much of a financial burden, their joint adoption fee JUST and ONLY $50. For more information about Bentley and Kiki visit them or call 524-3252 or check www.nhhumane.org.
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, October 15, 2013— Page 25
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: We belong to a dinner group with six married couples. One of the couples divorced after the husband caught his wife having an affair. He no longer comes to the dinner parties, but the ex-wife still shows up and brings her new (married) boyfriend. They have been together for three years. Here’s the bigger problem: She flirts with my husband at every social activity. She always gives him a hug when we run into her. He is always pleasant and chats, when I’d rather he was less chummy. One time, on New Year’s Eve, I saw my husband put his arm around her waist as she moved to the music with another man. I watched (humiliated) as the three of them swayed back and forth. I assume it was the alcohol that prompted him to do this. However, it apparently fueled her fire. At one dinner party, she leaned across the table toward me and made a comment about my husband’s “size.” I kept my cool and replied that it wasn’t her business, but my husband, who was sitting right next to me, said nothing. At the dinners, we act like friends, but I am sorely tempted to give her a piece of my mind. My husband is getting aggravated with me. He claims he’s never cheated on me and she’s never touched him inappropriately. He says, “What am I supposed to do?” I asked him to delete her cell number, but he has not done that. This woman is not my friend, and I think she’s crossed a line. Any suggestions? -- Had Enough Dear Enough: As always in such cases, the problem is less about the woman and more about your husband’s reaction. He allows her flirting and even encourages her, and then becomes annoyed with you for doubting him. It undermines your trust. There is no reason for him to have her phone number in his contact list. Ask him to delete it while you are watching. Then tell him all of his future responses to this
woman’s inappropriate remarks should make it clear to her that he is not interested. If he refuses, the next step is counseling. Dear Annie: I have noticed that whenever there is a tragedy involving the death of a child, people place stuffed animals and dolls at the scene. Please, in memory of these children, tell readers to donate the toys and dolls to the local police or fire departments, hospitals or a cancer center where they will bring comfort to living children. -- Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: That’s a lovely idea, and we hope people will consider it, although not everyone will want to. There is some sentiment attached to marking the actual spot where a tragedy occurred. We understand why loved ones might object to having these tributes removed, but in many instances, they are a safety hazard. Also, stuffed animals that have been left out in the rain and mud are no longer in any condition to donate. The handling of these roadside memorials belongs to the local municipality. Many allow toys, dolls, etc., to stay for a specified period of time, and then the department of transportation removes them. In some areas, temporary memorials are replaced with a single permanent marker. The state of Delaware bans roadside memorials altogether and has instead provided the Delaware Highway Memorial Garden as a tribute. You should inquire with your local department of transportation and suggest the objects be donated. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Worried Wife,” whose 44-year-old husband drinks too much and refuses to see a doctor or dentist. In addition to the advice that you gave her to contact Al-Anon and make sure he has a valid will and that his affairs are in order, she also should make sure he has a lot of insurance. She will need it to raise their four children alone. -- K.

NEW YORK (AP) — Banksy, the British graffiti artist causing a sensation in New York City, says he sold a few of his artworks over the weekend for up to $60 apiece, far below the thousands they typically fetch. Banksy wrote on his website that he had set up a stall in Central Park on Saturday with original signed works. But the secretive artist warned Sunday: “That stall will not be there again today.” The website features a photo and video of the pop-up stall with a sign

that read: “Spray Art. $60.” Eight people over the course of the day are seen buying the works and getting a hug, a peck on the cheek or a handshake after a purchase from an elderly man working the stall. It is not clear who the man is. Banksy refuses to give his real name. The total take for the day was $420, according to the website. It said one man from Chicago bought four works because he was decorating his new home and needed something for the walls.
